Kate Upton’s Controversial Mercedes Super Bowl Commercial

I’m not really sure what the big fuss is over Kate Upton’s Super Bowl commercial. This is just the teaser, but it seems pretty tame to me.

Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz released a teaser of its coming Super Bowl ad that  features the model Kate Upton. The spot is meant to promote the new Mercedes CLA, and entry-level model aimed at younger buyers currently shut out by the sticker-shock-inducing prices of even the least-expensive Benz vehicles.

While Upton supposedly “washes the new Mercedes CLA in slow motion,” she’s mainly eye candy for the TV audience and a group of guys in football jerseys who actually wield the sponges and hoses. At one point she scoops a handful of suds and later tells one of the men that he “missed a spot,” but there’s no manual labor on her part.
